Katy Perry pitching a legal fit to keep Russell from talking about her: hypocritical?

Katy Perry

Here’s some photos of Katy Perry outside a movie theater with some friends on Saturday. She left the theater with popcorn before getting into the passenger seat of a car and flipping off photographers. Those photos are below the post because, well, it’s Katy giving the finger, and she’s just so scandalous. On Saturday night, Katy was photographed attending a house party with John Mayer. That they’re even together is still really gross, right?

Meanwhile, Katy is harboring some double standards when it comes to ex Russell Brand. She apparently had no issue with including footage of him in her movie even though Russell begged her not to. This is not to mention her not-so-thinly veiled song about Russell, “Wide Awake,” which arrived complete with a faux-goth video wherein she punched Prince Charming in the face. However, when Russell even makes the slightest mention of Katy, she reportedly isn’t having it.

In particular, Katy’s upset about the Howard Stern interview where Russell tried to evade questions about their marriage but then conceded, “I don’t want anything to hurt her. She’s younger than me, she’s a young woman and she’s beautiful and she’s sensitive and I care about her deeply … I don’t want to be too glib.” Those are some surprisingly thoughtful words about an ex, and Russell said nothing wrong at all, but Katy was pissed anyway, and now she’s trying to legally prevent Russell from saying even that. Hypocritical much?

Katy Perry is seeking a gagging order to stop Russell Brand speaking about their failed marriage in public. The irate pop star has instructed her lawyers to stop her ex-husband from discussing their doomed relationship in TV interviews.

The celebrity couple are thought to have agreed to keep a dignified silence when agreeing terms of their quickie divorce in January. And Katy, 27, now wants that enforced by the law after Russell, 37, failed to live up to his end of the agreement.

According to friends of the “Part Of Me” singer, the final straw came last week when the comic made jokes about their sex life in a radio interview with Howard Stern.

A pal told the Daily Star Sunday: “Katy is fed up with Russell constantly making reference to their marriage in interviews. While it’s mainly harmless and often even complimentary, she’s sick to death of his comments being splashed all over the news and magazines. Katy went berserk after the interview with Howard Stern.

“She called lawyers and told them to put a gagging order on Russ to prevent him from speaking about her in public again. Katy vowed never to reveal the ins and outs of their marriage breakdown or speak about Russell in any way. All she wants is the same in return.”

Well, it’s not like Russell brought up the topic of Katy in his Stern interview. He was specifically (and perhaps unavoidably) asked about the demise of his marriage, and he kept his answer to a bare minimum. Hell, he even stated during that answer that he didn’t want to give details because he didn’t want to hurt Katy’s feelings. For what it’s worth, Russell not only has been gracious enough to not badmouth Katy, but he also (a few months ago) gave an earful to BBC tellie presenter Graham Norton: “My mum is here. She got upset when you dragged up my marriage. I have come here to promote a film and you made my mum cry. I don’t see you as that sort of person, Graham.” So the journos will ask their questions, but I guess now he’ll have to specify up front that he’s not allowed to even reference his ex-wife. Meanwhile, Katy will continue to earn royalties off Russell’s likeness once Part of Me hits DVD.

By the way, how amazing was Russell singing “I Am The Walrus” during last night’s Olympics closing ceremony in London? He kept it so classy too even though I’m sure he was dying to slip a few well-aimed pelvic thrusts into his routine.

Oh, and here’s an amusing closing note. Russell is also reportedly going to open his own yoga studio in Beverly Hills because — get this — he’s reportedly “had sex or flirtations” with far too many of the chicks at his current studio, and he’s finding it difficult to reach nirvana (or whatever) while surrounded with so many chicks that he’s bedded. Gross, right?

    Russel was great last night. Video isn’t working!

    • Krissy says:

      haha I didn’t read the part about him performing last night so my first thought when u read your comment, was that you must’Ve his Yoga class hookup 😉

  2. marie says:

    you flipped off the paps, you’re so hardcore Katy..*massive eyeroll*

    And Russell should be allowed to say whatever he wants, he’s kept it classy, unlike Katy..

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I listened to that whole Stern interview and pretty much the entire time, Howard kept trying to bait Russell into saying something negative about Katy. Russell kept it 100% classy and respectful (which isn’t easy with Stern-he’s a pro at goading his interviewees).

      Katy Perry needs to just enjoy her racist Mayer dong and leave Brand alone. Dude has obviously moved on.

  3. BB says:

    how it’s possible ???

  4. DailyNightly says:

    She might want to get a gag order on John Mayer while she is at it.

  5. Amelia says:

    Oh shut up and go sit in the corner Katy.
    On a side note, Rusty was brilliant last night!

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Hi Amelia 🙂
      I didn’t see it but I’m so glad to hear he did well!

      • Amelia says:

        Hi Kitten!
        He did really well, the whole psychedelic vibe really meshed together with his little routine. It should be on BBC iplayer if you want to check it out.

    • gg says:

      Yyyeahhh, he definitely needs to keep his day job. A singer he is not. Once they switched on the studio version, the autotuned pitch improved it to almost listenable, but without pitch help he is no singer.

  6. yellowshaba says:

    its John who will give her a gag order lol..she’s a hypocrite I agree, russell has been a gentleman thus far as not speaking about specifics…

  7. Eleonor says:

    Russell could have said a lot of WORST things about her, her party ways against his battle to stay sober, for example. But he was gracious, and gave intellegent answers.
    Au contraire Katie is keeping the spotlight on her failed marriage.
    I think one day, she will be mature enough to understand she has screwed a relationship with a very intelligent man.

  8. me says:

    I heard the interview and he was so classy and made sure not to get sucked into the stern vortex. Howard even made him listen to wide awake while he disected each line and russell still kept his mouth shut. I was pretty impressed.

    • gg says:

      He hasn’t done anything except that one time at that awards show he said he was looking for another Katy.

      But hey, this is what you get when you get involved with a comedian. You usually become their fodder.

  9. Al says:

    She looks so pretty when she’s not made up like a clown!

    • Tiffany says:

      I don’t think she is pretty at all. Out of all of those girls she is standing around, I think she looks the worst. Her legs are very squishy looking and untoned.

  10. Aussie girl says:

    What was Russell supposed to react?? Katie lost any credibility when she shacked up with John player! Oh & its sounds like Russell has already reached nirvana @ his old yoga studio serval times. These to are to funny!!

  11. Hope says:

    What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. This stupid little five-year-old in a grown woman’s body needs to simmer down and stop with the temper tantrums. She was allowed to attempt to tar and feather Russell in her movie and use it to attempt to help her career, but he can’t just be a nice guy having a kind and forgiving conversation? He could have gone on and on about her partying ways, how she was a silly little coke head, how aside from her boobs, she’s really nothing special or very talented and he just became disillusioned. But no, Russell didn’t do that. Because he’s a decent person with a good heart (even if he is randy on a cosmic level.

    So, in conclusion: Bitch, please!

  12. Lee says:

    What a moron she is. He took not one thin dime from her in their divorce, has said not one bad word about her, while she has done nothing but cash in on their break-up with that pathetic song. Pot, meet kettle.

  13. G says:

    Jesus, what the hell does she want?

    He also sings WAY better than her.

  14. DANDILION says:

    I think they are having each other on as a joke..

  15. serena says:

    “Katy vowed never to reveal the ins and outs of their marriage breakdown or speak about Russell in any way. All she wants is the same in return.”

    Seriously?

    Of course she doesn’t want to, lol, because she’ll look bad.
    She writed a not-so-nice song about him and he answered in a lovely manner. She should learn from him, but he’s right, she’s just a spoiled kid.

  16. OXA says:

    Russel has been more than decent with her, he walked away with no money and has only said kind thinga about her.
    I think she should be more worried about what John Mayer will say when this current lustfest ends.

  17. ramona says:

    That romper does nothing for her.

    • Ramona Q. says:

      Yes, this current throwback to the ’90s look is the very first instance of retro fashion that I wore the original time around. It’s … so strange.

    • Camille (The original) says:

      I agree. She has awful legs and this outfit just highlights how unattractive they are. She has cankles for days..

  18. Shannon1972 says:

    Her: petulant, spoiled child.
    Him: gracious, intelligent man

    Im in such a great mood today that I thought I wouldn’t have any snark in me, but Russel is my guilty crush. So smart and funny. Love him!

    Katie lives in candy land, which is probably why she still acts like a 5 year old. She and John Mayer deserve each other.

  19. gg says:

    I think the singing debacle last night was him trying to prove he could sing bad too and get an audience. As bad as it was, I still think it was better than her singing too.

  20. Ally says:

    John Mayer will be her karma.

    I don’t think Russell was trying to prove he could sing well last night, it was pure British bonkers enterntainment….I loved it.

  21. Feebee says:

    I didn’t think she should cut him from the movie and I definitely don’t think she should be able to stop him from talking. Next she’ll see him some where and demand he not look at her.

    Brand lipsynched last night better than Britney and JLo put together. What a pro!

  22. sputnikbaby says:

    so, insufferable famewhore pimps failed marriage for attention and then freaks out when her ex responds to a question about her in the nicest way possible. urgh. if my eyes roll any further back in my head, i might cause permanent damage.

  23. Lisa says:

    When they were keeping the wedding plans secret, she was smug as f–k any time she appeared on TV. She kept hinting at locations but never saying where, which is fine — but it was her attitude that bugged.

    Then she blabbed after the divorce. Can’t have it both ways.

  24. valleymiss says:

    Every move she makes, I can see more and more why Russell cut his losses. First it was Russell being a complete gentleman and not taking any of her $. Then it was Katy refusing to cut Russell’s parts out of the movie…and now this. She may be beautiful (with all the makeup, eyelashes, wigs, and styling) with a slammin’ figure…but she’s an immature brat (and probably sampled tons of coke on tour) so Russell needed to go. She’s showing her true colors and I don’t like it. John Mayer can haver her – those 2 are perfect for each other. Can’t wait for John to talk shit about her after they split (which is something Russell refused to do to Katy).

  25. Kate says:

    I really like him, and thought he was great last night! he always says such nice things about katy, she should be thanking him.

  26. Miffy says:

    He really is too smart for her. She’s making herself look bad and he’s giving her the ammunition.

    I reckon he’s killing her with kindness, everything about their divorce howls ‘I moved on months ago’ on his behalf… and I love it!

    Watching RB perform at the Olympics must have KILLED Katy Perry, as a ‘singer’ watching your comedian ex perform to that crowd for such an event and knowing she’ll never achieve anything even close. Ouch. Nice, subtle dig, Rusty.

  27. Vibius says:

    This guy gets paid to joke about himself and others. If he wanted to rip into Katy he could. Vague comments that were positive on Howard are so much less severe than what she did with here stupid movie and music video to capitalize on her failed marriage. She is not the only one allowed to do that.

  28. the original bellaluna says:

    A “gagging order” – boy, is THAT one spot on! She sure makes me gag, alright.

  29. sasha says:

    DAMN, but she’s got dumpy legs!

    Canklesapalooza.

  30. Az says:

    What I find interesting here is that this is the second intelligent man that falls for her. Say what you want about Mayer being a douche, he is reasonably intelligent. So is Russell Brand who is super intelligent and witty (one of the many reasons I love him!)I knew from day one that the marriage with Russell wasn’t going to work out. John Mayer is karma’s way of kicking Katy’s ass over how she has treated Russell!

  31. Mrs. Ari Gold says:

    What is with her cleavage in that dress?
    Really? She’s going to a movie with her friends and she has her boobs all pushed up and out like she’s in Dangerous Liasons or something!

  32. Jill says:

    This b*tch is a hypocrite. He asked her to keep him out of her “movie” or whateer the fug that was, and she basically said no. So it serves her right to get the same. I am glad he said fug off. Whatever people may think of him he is really brilliant. After watching him on Piers Morgan I have a different view of him.

  33. Jill says:

    I actually think Russell did great with that “I am the Walrus” rendition. I liked it.

  34. Anne de Vries says:

    I’m willing to bet she wants the gag order not because she doesn’t want him to talk about her, but because he is getting positive attention for being classy about the divorce. She wanted to become the shining star of virtue coming out of that marriage, but she can’t play the victim if he’s so nice about her in the press.
